Cool, you need a set of lake pipes to go with the scoop. Then ditch the spoiler and add a kickup to the back edge of rear decklid. [This message has been edited by 30+mpg (edited 10-28-2008).]

You better take a mould off the whole thing now to make a new skin for your hood because that bondo will crack. There is no avoiding it as Bondo shouldn't be used as thick as you have used it. With Bondo, 1/8" is already too thick. It appears you have it 1/2" thick. Slam the hood down a few times. Save yourself some grief before painting it.

Please don't take my suggestions wrong either as I am trying to save you some grief. The overall concept isn't bad. The execution will kill you though.
The scoop has potential to be functional with a few well placed vents..

Mailmule, I like what you did. Closing in the sides to make it raised really gives it the look. And I agree with Aus about the bondo...
Also.. Aus, you nailed it with those vents in the front. Made a good idea even better!------------------

Looks Maranello....ish. I like it, it looks good. I even like adding the front vent idea. Yeah thick bondo is bad buisness. You may have better luck with that stuff....... whats it called........ kitty hair? You know its like resin/filler with fiberglass strands in it. Your doing great work. Keep it up.

Cool, I will take in the advice and see what I can come up with. Although it appears I used alot of Bondo I really didn't. I used 2 layers of Glass first, then filled in with the Bondo/Glass. The bondo itself is merely the outer shaping layer. I have done this before on my old 76 camaro and the scoop outlasted the rest of the car. I will also be glassing the bottom side to give it a little more strength. The vents do look good and could well be my next move, Thanks!!
I am far off from painting and I use the car daily, so I will see first hand what kind of stress is put and where well before it gets color. And to answer the question, I do not have the actual scoop yet. I will ask my Boss this week to check on a price for me. Should get a bit of a discount. The cheapest I can find on my own is about $150 just for the bolt on scoop. If anyone has one just laying around LOL. I am pretty sure 99-04 will all fit.
Thanks again for everyones input.

Dude, you guys need to understand that 1/2 the fiero's stock frills aren't form follows function either...
Look at that spoiler.. it's plastic... look at the sunroof, I love it but it howls like a wolf when removed. It's a bondo nightmare but if it's for a mold it's be kewl

The stock Fiero spoiler was designed to create downforce for the Indy pace car. It does work.
